Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3(x - 10) = - 4

1/3x - 10/3 = - 4

1/3x = -4 + 10/3

1/3x = -2/3

x = -2/3 · 3

x = -2

Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

First use distributive property

1/3*x and 1/3*-10

=1/3x-10/3=-4

Then add 10/3 on both sides so x can be by itself

=1/3x=-4+10/3

Then add -4 and 10/3

=1/3x=-2/3

Then multiply each side by the reciprocal of 1/3 which is 3/1

x=-2

A food store makes a 11–pound mixture of peanuts, almonds, and raisins. The cost of peanuts is $1.50 per pound, almonds cost $3.

arlik [135]

Given: 11-pound mixture of peanuts, almonds, and raisins
Cost:
peanuts - 1.5 per pound
almonds - 3 per pound
raisins - 1.5 per pound

mixture:
twice as many peanuts as almond; total cost of mixture is 21.

a + p + r = 11 lbs
a + 2a + r = 11 lbs
3a + r = 11
r = 11 - 3a

1.5(2a) + 3a + 1.5r = 21
3a + 3a + 1.5r = 21
6a + 1.5r = 21
6a + 1.5(11-3a) = 21
6a + 16.5 - 4.5a = 21
6a - 4.5a = 21 - 16.5
1.5a = 4.5
1.5a/1.5 = 4.5/1.5
a = 3

almonds = 3 lbs
peanuts = 2a = 2(3) = 6lbs
raisins = 11 - 3a = 11 - 3(3) = 11 - 9 = 2 lbs

<span>My answer is: C. 6 lbs peanuts, 3 lbs almonds, 2 lbs raisins </span>
